Benefits of Re-dressing Mineral Imbalance

There are numerous reasons why restoring the nutrient levels in soils is more beneficial than either mineral-spraying crops or giving livestock supplementary sources of those minerals that are known to be deficient in those soils. These benefits are outlined below:
